Saturday Ramblings

  For the last several weeks, we have been dealing with family drama. When Todd's Dad passed away, he didn't leave a will, so now, family drama that we hoped to avoid has ensued. And, everything that is said or done is subject to scrutiny by surrounding family members. Todd has been left to deal with a lot of stuff. I know it stresses him out, because he never wants to step on anyone's toes, but there is always some one who is hurt and feels like they got the shaft. And unfortunately, he is the person that is going to be under a microscope because he is the one that has been left to deal with everything.
Thankfully, our nephew Jim has been here to help with everything. Everything from finishing our basement, to cleaning up a massive water leak, to chauffeuring Todd's mother around, to making sure Lily is totally dressed when she goes outside, to any kind of help with the Sawmill drama. He has been a constant help and we realize how lucky we are to have him here right now at this crazy time in our lives. We love him and are so appreciative of everything. We can't even imagine what we would be doing right now with out his help. Plus he finds great movies for us to watch and knows how to help Uncle Todd polish of a 5th of Jack. And best of all he can grill like a maniac.
 Anyway, the last few weeks, let alone months, we feel like we are running around like 'chickens with our heads cut off'. This weekend is finally a little bit of a low key weekend.
 And we are enjoying our family time and the calmness that is upon us, a least for a weekend.
O' Yeah! Here are some REALLY cute pictures of Sara. This last one is a picture of the first and only time Sara has ever fallen asleep in her highchair and I thought it was adorable. She is also loving her little blue Hippo that she can push around everywhere. And of course the rest of the pictures of her, is just her sweet little self being absolutely adorable. She's so stinkin' cute.
